Intertraffic Amsterdam 2022

Lidar technology is growing in importance in traffic management. It offers reliable and precise object detection in any light or weather, with an accurate 3D image of the environment (unlike cameras), in high resolution (unlike radar), all while maintaining personal privacy.

By this summer, the TOPGRD, 77GHz Compact Line traffic management sensor should be available globally. But visitors to the stand of smartmicro can get a sneak-peak at the hand-size big-data unit that fits unobtrusively on light poles or overhead gantries.

Cepton’s stand features its new Nova sensor, which is scheduled to become part of the world’s largest automotive contract in some of next year’s General Motors line-up of vehicles.

Vialis, a Royal VolkerWessels company, and Vitronic have announced they will collaborate in the field of truck taxes. The announcement was in response to a proposal for a Heavy Goods Vehicle Charge. The Netherlands will also introduce a levy based on usage, comparable to Germany and Belgium. The proceeds will flow back into investments in climate and sustainability goals to be implemented within the transport sector.
